Contact Insertion
No insertion tool is required. Trident
contacts are inserted from the rear of the
connector and held in place by retention
tines (cantilever springs). These tines
compress during insertion. They expand
once contact is in place and prevent the
contact from backing out.
Proper Insertion of Trident Contact
Contact Retention Forces
• Minimum retention force of the
contact to the insulator.
Contact Newton(s)
Signal Contacts 67
(Formed Crimp, Machined Crimp,
Solder Cup, Flow Solder)
Coaxial Contacts 67
30 A Power Contacts 100
Note: Newton is a metric unit of force. One pound = 4.45 Newtons
Trident Assembly
Instructions
(For Neptune and
TNM Assembly, see page 78)
Assembly instructions:
1. Grasp the crimped or soldered contact
just behind where the wire enters the
contact.
2. Push the contact into the connector
cavity until it locks into place.
3. Pull on the wire slightly to verify that
the contact is secure.
4. Inspect the mating face of the
connector. The contacts should extend
the same distance into the connector.
